'''Dark Beam''' is a weapon found in [[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]. It is imbued with dark energy, and can open Dark Beam doors, and can also be used to darken light crystals and light beacons. It can also be used to open dark portals, such as the one found in [[Command Center]]. It is the first beam seen in the game that uses ammo. The game gives you 50 Dark Ammo when picking up the Dark Beam. Additionally, its charged shot has the ability to freeze certain enemies similarly to [[Ice Beam]] in Prime 1. As a result, said enemies can be killed instantly using just a single missile. This is useful in certain circumstances, such as in the Pirate encounter in the room [[Sanctuary Entrance]]. | '''Dark Beam''' is a weapon found in [[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]].

This beam can also be combined with the [[Darkburst]] beam combo. In a speedrunning context, this isn't ordinarily useful, but the damaging aura of Darkburst can be used to activate bomb slots without [[Morph Ball Bomb|Morph Ball Bombs]], which makes categories such as [[Max% No Bombs]] possible. | |||
By default, Dark Beam is found in the room [[Storage D]] in the [[Agon Wastes]] region. | By default, Dark Beam is found in the room [[Storage D]] in the [[Agon Wastes]] region. | ||
